Ingredients

Preparation

With a vegetable peeler remove zest from 4 lemons and squeeze enough juice from these and remaining 2 lemons to measure 1 cup.

In a saucepan boil 2 cups water with sugar, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Add zest, lemon juice, and remaining 2 cups water and cool.

In a food processor or blender purée blackberries and stir into lemonade. Pour blackberry lemonade through a sieve into a pitcher or other container and chill. Chill lemonade, covered, at least until cold and up to 2 days.

This blackberry lemonade is fantastic! When I made it I poured the strained blackberry puree on the top before serving and it floated on the lemonade below- stunning in a clear glass pitcher! Then I mixed it up and poured it over ice and it was gone in mere minutes. This is now what everyone asks me to bring to summer gatherings.
